-      <description>Radio channels. Supports up to 32 channels. Channel values are in centered 13 bit format. Range is [-4096,4096], center is 0. Conversion to PWM is x * 5/32 + 1500. 
-	    Should be emitted only by components with component id MAV_COMP_ID_TELEMETRY_RADIO.
-		The message should be handled, e.g. by routers, as if it had target fields with target_system = system id of system the radio receiver is connected to and target_component = 0.
